Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing that defines an internal volume, an aperture defined by the housing, an electronic component disposed within the internal volume and occluding the aperture, and a mesh component disposed against the electronic component. One example of an electronic device can include a housing that defines an internal volume, a port defined by the housing, a speaker module disposed within the internal volume and oriented to move air through the port, and an acoustically transparent mesh covering the port. The mesh can include a raised portion extending at least partially through the port and a flange extending from the raised portion, the flange secured against an internal surface of the housing.

Abstract: A portable electronic device can include a housing at least partially defining an internal volume. The device can include a venting module including a membrane, a porous member, and a support structure. The membrane and porous member can define a fluid path extending a width of the porous member and placing the internal volume in fluid communication with an ambient environment adjacent the housing. The support structure can be coupled to the porous member.

Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing component that can define an interior surface and an exterior surface of the device, a metallic film deposited on the interior surface and extending at least partially onto the exterior surface, and a ceramic film deposited on the exterior surface and at least partially over a portion of the metallic film on the exterior surface. The ceramic film can be in electrical communication with a portion of the metallic film deposited on the interior surface to form an electrical pathway from the exterior surface to the interior surface.
